My approaches to countries and domain names are, apparently, quite similar. If things don’t seem right, I like to switch to get a fresh perspective, see if things can’t be more interesting. Good or bad, it’s the way I am.
Soooooooo… am working on moving this travel blog to a new website/domain. Changes should be [...]

I heard this from a friend last summer:
“Someone once said that moving is the closest thing there is to freedom.”
Is that why we travel?

(Why is she referring to herself in the third person?)
An update is in order. You may have notice that my recent posts have been pretty all over the place and not remotely chronological. This is because I am not traveling at the moment. I doubt there any many people who’d be interested in tales of [...]

I knew a really cool girl in Guatemala. She was pretty, fun, smart and interesting. One day someone told me that she’s 33.
Phew, I thought. Someone can be a pretty, fun, smart and interesting traveler in her thirties. This came as an incredible relief, because like most women past 25, I can feel my thirties [...]
Man, Mexico sure gets a lot of bad rap these days.
A few weeks ago I was cashing in some leftover travelers checks in Toronto.
“Where were you?” the teller asked.
“Mexico,” I replied far too wistfully.
“Wow,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to go visit Mexico really bad.”
“Why don’t you?” I asked.
“Well, the [...]
One of my favourite travel writers is Wade from Vagabond Journey. One of my favourite things about his blog is that, well, I disagree with him a lot of the time. Sometimes he even pisses me off. Wade doesn’t necessarily know this, because I try to keep my “internet fights” to a minimum. Anyways, besides [...]
Update: I’ve decided to spend a few months in Canada. I’m heading back to Edmonton on Friday, where I will get a job and save up some money before heading back abroad. I’ve got an offer at a pretty nice school in Xi’an, China if I want it, but I’m also going to interview for [...]
While walking through the beautiful neighborhood of Coyoacan the other day in Mexico City, my friend told me that he was dying to leave Mexico. “There are no opportunities for me here. My life would be better if I lived in Canada.”
Well shit, I thought. Here I am dying to live down here in [...]

One night in Guatemala last summer, I did not know what to do.
I’d been invited to a birthday party. It would be fun. Problem was, it was being held at a fancy Mediterranean restaurant in Pasaje Enriquez, and I didn’t want to spend the money.
But I didn’t want to miss the fun, either. [...]
